Cleaning of the basement all accomplished yesterday and today it is the main floor. I shall begin after breakfast as usual and should be all accomplished around 11 or so. The routine of cleaning is so very helpful and the exercise is also very good.
Yesterday good work on the matches and I have nearly completed the first 200 for the third sibling. A few surprises here and there but for the most part this was smoother going than the first two because many of them are repeats so the page for them is already set up and just have to add in the new result for that sibling. Endogamy though does appear to be seeping through the results and particularly in the Blake line which I anticipated although it is actually the Knight/Butt/Arnold line because Maria Jane Knight married Edward Blake in 1870 at Upper Clatford but also the parents of Edward (Ann (Farmer) Blake and John Blake had 54 grandchildren and hundreds of great grand children but that didn't cause endogamy!
I must get outside though and do some weeding and I also need to finish the Pincombe-Pinkham Newsletter. Perhaps I should tie myself to the Newsletter first thing and get it done.
Lovely morning at 7:00 a.m. and it is 18 degrees celsius and we are expecting rain and it is always handy to keep everything green. The Air quality at 46 is high for this time of year but is considered to be good. I do not see rain in the forecast online but time will tell. Certainly it is cloudy.
Yesterday another lovely walk on the beach and I have to start getting ready to do my driver's license renewal. I only use it to drive to the local grocery store a couple of times a month but I will read the rules book and be ready. I booked my Optometrist appointment and I need to book my Driver's License appointment so will look into that today. Since I will be 80 there is extensive testing I think so will prepare for that. I do not see myself driving other than to the grocery store though. For one thing our roads are still are in disarray with the new train coming and I just do not want that hassle although I do, twice a year, drive to have the tires switched which is the only other time that I drive. Otherwise I just take the bus as it is easy and gets me where I am going without any need to figure out the parking or anything else.
Cleaning today and the newsletter and the matches and must try to keep that order until the newsletter is completed.
Drinking my tea and doing my solitaire puzzles.
